TERMS AND DEFINITIONS USED

The subject-matter of this invention includes the compounds according to the invention of general formula I mentioned hereinbefore, including the salts thereof, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms, for example one, two, three, four or five hydrogen atoms, are replaced by deuterium.

Unless stated otherwise, a chemical formula or a name given in the description or in a claim encompasses both all the structurally possible and thermodynamically stable tautomers and also all the stereoisomers, optical isomers, geometric isomers (e.g. enantiomers, diastereomers, E/Z isomers, etc.), racemates and mixtures of different components of the individual enantiomers, mixtures of diastereomers or mixtures of each form mentioned above in which isomers and enantiomers exist.

The invention also encompasses solvates of the compounds of general formula I, for example the hydrates thereof.

The invention also encompasses the salts of the compounds specified in each case, including the physiologically acceptable salts, as well as the solvates, such as hydrates, thereof.

Compounds of general formula I, if they contain suitable basic functions, for example amino groups, may be converted into the physiologically acceptable salts thereof with inorganic or organic acids, particularly for pharmaceutical applications.

By the term “physiologically acceptable salt” is preferably meant, for the purposes of the present invention, salts of the compounds according to the invention which are physiologically acceptable, i.e. particularly for use in humans and/or mammals.

The term “physiologically acceptable” for the purposes of the present invention is used as a reference to those compounds, ingredients, compositions and/or preparations which are suitable for use in contact with human or animal tissue, within the scope of a reasonable medical judgment, without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions or other problems or complications, and which correspond to a proportionate risk/benefit ratio.

Examples of inorganic acids for this purpose include hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid, while examples of organic acids include formic acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, succinic acid, acetic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, fumaric acid, glutamic acid, hexane-1-sulphonic acid, carbonic acid, maleic acid, mandelic acid, lactic acid, monomethylsebacic acid, nicotinic acid, oxalic acid, 5-oxoproline, saccharinic acid, sulphonic acids, such as for example methanesulphonic acid, camphorsulphonic acid, ethanesulphonic acid, ethane-1,2-disulphonic acid, benzenesulphonic acid or p-toluenesulphonic acid, tartaric acid or citric acid (cf. “Pharmaceutical salts”, Birge, S. M. et al., J. Pharm. Sci., (1977), 66, 1-19).

Moreover, if they contain suitable carboxylic acid functions, the compounds of general formula I may be converted into the physiologically acceptable salts thereof with inorganic or organic bases, particularly for pharmaceutical applications. Examples of inorganic bases for this purpose include alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, for example sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or carbonate, ammonia, zinc or ammonium hydroxides; examples of organic amines include diethylamine, triethylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, cyclohexylamine or dicyclohexylamine.

Generally, salts of this kind may be prepared by reacting the free acid or base group with the required amount of base or acid in water or an organic solvent, such as for example diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, acetonitrile or a mixture of these solvents.

The compounds according to the invention may occur as racemates if they have only one chiral element, but they may also be obtained as pure enantiomers, i.e. in (R) or (S) form.

However, the application also includes the individual diastereomeric pairs of antipodes or the mixtures thereof which are present when there is more than one chiral element in the compounds of general formula I, as well as the individual optically active enantiomers of which the above-mentioned racemates are made up.

Compounds with a carbon double bond may be present in both the E and Z forms.

If a compound may be present in different tautomeric forms, the compound shown is not restricted to one tautomeric form, but includes all the tautomeric forms. This also applies particularly in the case of nitrogen-containing heteroaryls:

PREPARATION METHODS

According to the invention the compounds of general formula I are obtained by methods known per se, for example by the following methods:

(A) Amide Coupling:

The linking of the carboxylic acid of formula II to amines of general formula III, wherein R¹ and R² are as hereinbefore defined, as illustrated, forming carboxylic acid amides of general formula I wherein R¹ and R² are as hereinbefore defined, may be carried out by conventional methods of amide formation.

The coupling is preferably carried out using methods known from peptide chemistry (cf. e.g. Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Vol. 15/2), for example using carbodiimides such as e.g. dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), diisopropyl carbodiimide (DIC) or ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide, O-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N—N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU) or tetrafluoroborate (TBTU) or 1H-benzotriazol-1-yl-oxy-tris-(dimethylamino)-phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP). By adding 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) or 3-hydroxy-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-benzotriazine (HOObt) the reaction speed can be increased. The couplings are normally carried out with equimolar amounts of the coupling components as well as the coupling reagent in solvents such as dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran (THF), acetonitrile, dimethyl formamide (DMF), dimethyl acetamide (DMA), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or mixtures thereof. If necessary, an auxiliary base such as for example diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA, Hünig base) is additionally used.

It is also possible to convert the carboxylic acid of formula II into the corresponding carboxylic acid chloride and then react this with amines of general formula III, wherein R¹ and R² are as hereinbefore defined. The synthesis of carboxylic acid chlorides is carried out using methods known from the literature (cf. e.g. Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Volume E5/1).

(B) Reduction of the Nitrile Group:

The reduction of a nitrile of general formula IV, wherein R¹ and R² are as hereinbefore defined, to an amine of general formula III, wherein R¹ and R² are as hereinbefore defined, may be carried out under standard conditions of catalytic hydrogenolysis with a catalyst, such as for example Raney nickel, in a solvent, such as for example ammoniacal methanol or ethanol, or with a reducing agent such as for example lithium aluminium hydride or sodium borohydride, in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, optionally in the presence of a Lewis acid such as aluminium chloride.

(C) Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution or Transition Metal-Catalysed Coupling:

The reaction of an aniline of general formula VI, wherein R² is as hereinbefore defined, with a nitrile of general formula V, wherein R¹ is as hereinbefore defined and Hal denotes a fluorine, chlorine or bromine atom, is carried out according to known methods, for example in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide or dimethylsulphoxide and conveniently in the presence of a base, such as for example triethylamine, sodium hydroxide solution or potassium carbonate, at a temperature of 20° C. to 160° C. If the aniline of general formula VI is liquid, the reaction may also be carried out without a solvent and additional base.

An alternative method of preparing compounds of general formula IV, wherein R¹ and R² are as hereinbefore defined, is the palladium-catalysed reaction of a nitrile of general formula V, wherein R¹ is as hereinbefore defined and Hal denotes a fluorine, chlorine or bromine atom, with an aniline of general formula VI, wherein R² is as hereinbefore defined. Reaction conditions for this reaction, also known as the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction, are known from the literature.

Description of the Method of Binding the cynoBK1-Receptor

CHO cells that express the cynomolgus BK1-receptor are cultivated in “HAM'S F-12 Medium”. The medium is removed from confluent cultures, the cells are washed with PBS buffer, scraped off or detached using Versene and isolated by centrifuging. Then the cells are homogenised in suspension, the homogenate is centrifuged and resuspended. After the protein content has been determined 200 μl of the homogenate (50 to 250 μg protein/assay) are incubated for 60-180 minutes at ambient temperature with 0.5 to 5.0 nM kallidin (DesArg10,Leu9), [3,4-Prolyl-3,43H(N)] and increasing concentrations of the test substance in a total volume of 250 μl. The incubation is stopped by rapid filtration through GF/B glass fibre filters that have been pre-treated with polyethyleneimine (0.3%). The radioactivity bound to the protein is measured with a TopCount NXT. The radioactivity bound in the presence of 1.0 μM kallidin (DesArg10) is defined as non-specific binding. The concentration binding curve may be analysed using computer-aided non-linear curve fitting to determine the corresponding K_(i) values for the test substance.
